Either the vaccine protects you from HIV or the mRNA makes your dick fall off so you can't catch it anymore. Well played, science, well played.

tldr for people
80% of people who took said Vaccine (theres 3 being tested in various first/booster configurations) have antibodies against HIV.
6% developed varying levels of hives/rashes ranging from weeks to years. Currently unknown what in the HIV/mRNA usages causes the rashes.
This is a huge breakthrough considering traditional HIV vaccine approaches have failed for 40+ years, and mRNA tech is finally making it possible to target the virus's constantly mutating envelope protiens.
mRna is fucking fantastic
mRna is cancelled
I wonder if there will ke any long-team side effects.
Long term side effects include:
- Not dying
- Having to pay your taxes
- Being able to experience the joys of food
- Still being broke
No thanks then
You just responded to a comment that explained exactly what you are asking for.
Long-term side effects are called that because they stay for a long time, not because they appear after a long time. They develop quickly after the vaccination and stay for a long time.
What are the other 14%?
the other 20% did not have antibodies against HIV
the other 94% did not develop rashes.
there is no "other 14%" as the 80% and 6% most likely intersect.
No effect.
Exciting news for people who live in countries that promote vaccination.
Good luck to everyone preparing their illicit journey across the US/Mexico border to get basic medical care.
If the EU (or China) steps it up we'll eliminate HIV in Africa before it's eliminated in the US. Christians still need a way to punish homosexuals.
The bitter miserable thing is that American Christians have fully infested countries like Uganda, Nigeria, and Kenya, with predictably awful results.

If there is a global reorientation around the EU and BRICS (which seems increasingly unlikely as Russia/Ukraine has devastated trans-Asiatic trade relations and India/Pakistan feuding threatens to plunge billions into a new World War), its going to have to be over the backs of tens of thousands of evangelical missionaries and their American exploiters.

and it made sense.
I am curious, how is india and pakistan doing what they do best a cause for a global conflict? In the two last ones it was a bunch of european states tied together through silly treaties and pacts and a whole lot of countries coming together to stamp out the nazis, respectively.
India and pakistan are neighbors and essentially two sides of the same coin with different religions, and as far as i know have no defensive pacts with any major outside power. So even if they went to full blown war it would stay fairly confined to the region, no? Excluding considerations such as trade impact of course.
Why México? I mean yeah, they are free but we aren't getting supplied anymore, ask parents with newborns, kids with cancer and all the covid fiasco... Hell, I have no idea if I'll be able to get my covid booster next year, the goverment insists on buying the outdated and expired ones because they are cheaper (and it's to give money to dictatorial regimes) so we are forced to buy them on our own... And since the propaganda is that the Covid is over, there is no demand for the private entities so getting one is hard and expensive.
Captain Roadkill Brainworms will get right on that.
